The lunacy of forcing millions onto Medicare rolls is manifesting itself in the ever spiraling upward cost curve associated with universal health care.

"Several leading healthcare groups are urging Senate leaders to move quickly to approve a long-awaited Medicare “doc fix” bill before a key deadline on Wednesday.
When the Senate returns on Monday, it will have just two days to pass a bill, or Medicare doctors will face double-digit cuts in their reimbursement rates."

Owing to the unhappy fact that ObamaCare has managed to nearly scuttle the US medical superstructure waaay ahead of predictions, there has arisen the above cited urgent request by the health care industry. Presumably to try head off a mass exodus of physicians and nurses from the field. There is a fact associated with health insurance that most people don't realize. Once retired, a citizen does not have the right to dodge Medicare by paying for his own insurance. He must enroll in Medicare Part A and B. Part B costs something over a hundred dollars a month, and the insured must, either by law or industry wide agreement, use Medicare for his primary insurance provider. His own insurance policy no matter how plush, becomes supplemental coverage, and will not pay the first dime for services until the Medicare requirements are met. Thus, docs who treat the relative aged, are forced into a low payment funnel for their services to the detriment of those who are 65 or older in having to go through Medicare as primary. Therefore the urgency for yet another tax payer funded bailout dubbed "Doc Fix."
Since the ill-advised late night passage of ObamaCare, (most robberies take place in the dead of night) paying customers have seen their health care costs explode. I know in my case the premiums are 75% higher. The family deductible is up 250%. And the out of pocket has risen to a similar degree. Why? Because health insurance and health care are now regulated 100% by the federal government. If Doc Fix is implemented, we who work or file 1099's every year, will see another steep increase in the amount of money we are forced to pay for this federal monstrosity known as ObamaCare.
Doc Fix initially, will cost the average tax payer around 500 dollars a year.
According to a recent CBO report ObamaCare will cost the federal government an astounding 50 thousand dollars per person enrolled, a number which will be offset by 643 billion in new taxes. Doc Fix was not included in the CBO deliberations BTW. Legislators don't even give things a second thought these days. If they can't pay for the absurdities they call legislation, they merely raise taxes.
